My great grandfather Friederich Jules Ludwig Striowski sailed on the Militaries from London to Melbourne arriving aprox 10th October 1886.
He was from Gdansk , i am trying to find out how he got to London and anything else prior to the voyage.

My great grand father and great grandmother Charlotte Katherine Clarke and James Clarke were on the miltiades on voyage from UK to Australia destination Sydney in 1918. What a great piece of history.

I have found a diary entry by my great grandmother that says her parents (Robinson and Still) met on their voyage from London to Sydney in 1908 on the Miltiades and then married.
My grandfather who ‘ran away from home’ in 1910 , worked his passage to Brisbane as a “Bell Boy”
Some years later and back in London, my dad recalls that every time the name Gallipoli was mentioned, my grandfather would always say, “ I was there, poor buggers!”
On going through my dads pile of papers I have just come across this document, my grand dads Continuous Certificate of Discharge (See attached) from his days on the ocean waves and it shows that between 21st November 1915 and 31st March 1916 he was on the Miltiades for the very purpose of “Trooping”
